Anyone using Nicotine patches for Long Covid?

My doctor who has long COVID said he has tried nicotine patches and found them minimally helpful. However, he said they might work differently for me and he was willing to prescribe.
I am going to try low dose naltrexone for which there is a growing body of research showing it helps many people. LDN is one of things my doc personally takes and finds useful.

I in fact tried nicotine in gum form--4mg.--and it really didn't have any effect. I was surprised since I've never used nicotine and thought I'd be quite sensitive to it, but no...
I also tried LDN, at different dosages up to 4.5 mg., but unfortunately it started to make me feel a bit worse, if anything.
I'm considering asking my PCP to prescribe something like Adderall or Ritalin, since my problem is nearly exclusively chronic fatigue.
